Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

China objects

February 26, 2014;

China has criticised the United State’s appointment of Sarah Sewall as its Special Co-ordinator for Tibetan issues, saying that it constitutes intervention in its “internal” affairs. “The Chinese government resolutely opposes any foreign country using the so-called Tibet problem to interfere in China’s internal affairs,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying. “China has never and will never recognise the US so-called special envoy for the Tibet problem.” Sewall was appointed last week, on the day that US President Obama met His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
